Wang Fuhai personally escorted Bai Susu back to Qixiang Palace. Although the road was quiet and deserted, the news that Bai Guiren had stayed in Yangxin Palace for the entire afternoon had already spread throughout the palace like wings.
Nanchun and the others had been waiting eagerly in Qixiang Palace. When Jingpin's maid Yinzhu came out to pour water, she couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw their behavior and secretly spat.
Looking at her arrogant look, she seemed afraid that others would not know that her master was accompanying the emperor.
Inside the room, Jingpin was embroidering a brocade bag with her head bowed. Seeing Yinzhu come in angrily, her heart was as clear as a mirror. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and asked in a low voice, "Hasn't he come back yet?"
Yin Zhu didn't want to make his master sad, but he couldn't lie to his master, so he could only nod silently.
Jingpin was distracted and the silver needle pierced her finger, and blood immediately oozed out.
Yin Zhu cried out, and hurried forward, anxiously saying, "Madam, are you in pain? I'll go get some gauze."
Jingpin put her finger in her mouth and stopped him, saying, "No need, it's just a minor injury."
Yin Zhu was about to cry when she saw Jingpin's dejected look.
The woman next door rose to fame by meeting the emperor in Chonghua Palace.
On the other hand, his master has never seen the emperor again since Bai Susu came into favor!
That woman is the nemesis of her master, and she has taken away all his luck!
Jingpin stared at the brocade bag in her hand for a while, then put it aside. She couldn't continue embroidering today for fear that her fingers would bleed again and stain the satin.
After a while, the sound of the imperial carriage was heard outside.
When Nanchun saw her master coming back, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since her master was summoned to accompany the emperor, although Nanchun was happy for him, she felt uneasy as if there were seven or eight buckets of water hanging in her heart.
At first, I was worried about my master, afraid that he would make the emperor angry.
Later, the master did not come back all afternoon. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the master and the emperor must be getting along well, so she felt relieved.
But when he still hadn't returned by dinner time, something was amiss.
Could it be that the Emperor wanted to keep the Master overnight in the Yangxin Palace? That was a privilege not even the Empress had.
Besides, his mistress's menstruation has not yet ended. If he stays overnight, someone will probably report to the emperor tomorrow, saying that his mistress has seduced the emperor and is a demon concubine.
This has put the master in the spotlight, and the women in the harem are determined to tear him apart.
Especially the queen. No matter how favored the master is, without a strong family background, she will only have the emperor's favor, which will last for an unknown period of time. If she tramples on the queen's face, Nanchun dare not even think about the consequences.
Fortunately, the master is back
Therefore, when Nanchun saw her master coming back in a sedan chair, she hurried forward to greet him.
Bai Susu took Nanchun's hand and got out of the sedan chair. Seeing Wang Fuhai waiting beside her, she bowed and said, "Thank you for your help today, eunuch."
Wang Fuhai quickly turned aside to avoid the greeting, the smile on his face even deeper than it had been at noon: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what I should do. Please rest early. I will take my leave now."
After Bai Susu entered, Manxia followed Bai Susu closely with a look of surprise on her face, asking, "Master, what happened this afternoon? Why is Eunuch Wang so polite? And just now, Xiao Shunzi gave Eunuch Wang a purse, but he didn't even take it."
Ever since being scolded by Bai Susu last time, Manxia has become much more cautious, but it is her nature after all. She knows that today is a good day for Qixiang Palace and her master is smiling when he returns with him, so she dares to speak out her doubts.
Apart from anything else, Eunuch Wang had eyes on the top of his head. Which harem mistress had he ever been so attentive to? And he even refused to accept the purse from Qixiang Palace. This was really strange.
Nanchun saw Manxia scratching her head and secretly winked at her, but her hands gently helped Bai Susu take off her outer clothes, and then massaged Bai Susu's shoulders and neck with moderate strength.
Bai Susu hadn't felt tired when she was in the Yangxin Palace, but once she returned to her palace, she felt tired. She let Nanchun massage her neck and shoulders, squinting her eyes comfortably and said with a smile, "I don't know about your master either. Why don't you ask Eunuch Wang next time you see him?"
"Oh, my master really knows how to tease me."
Seeing that Bai Susu's eyelids were about to close, Nanchun glanced at Manxia again and said, "Go and see if the master's bath water is ready?"
Seeing that her benefactor was very tired, Manxia didn't dare to say anything more and went to the bathroom.
Bai Susu felt extremely comfortable being massaged by Nanchun. When she was drowsy, she thought of Emperor Xuan Jing holding her in his arms and that slightly eager and passionate kiss.
"Oh my, Master, you are in love."
The system's annoying voice sounded. To be honest, the presence of this child-bearing system was too low, so low that Bai Susu almost forgot about it.
Bai Susu rolled her eyes in her heart. She tilted her neck slightly, scooped up a handful of water with her hand, and splashed it on her face. Under the dim candlelight, Bai Susu's skin was as delicate as cream, truly as delicate as ice and jade.
Bai Susu: "If you don't show up again, I'm almost forgetting you."
"Hehehe, Master, I didn't show up because I went to develop the system mall. Look, there are a lot of new props in our mall now."
This is quite interesting. Bai Susu looked carefully and found that the originally empty mall did have a few glittering props, including the fertility pill, an indispensable prop in fertility literature.
[Birth Pill, the host can freely choose the baby's gender, with a 100% success rate. Requires 20 points and a 60% favorability rating to unlock.]
The points required are pitifully few, which shows that the system is conscientious.
But it is also true that the difficulty of obtaining the fertility pill lies in the 60% favorability, so there is no need to set a card on the points.
However, the talent-lighting skill next to it is quite interesting.
The system noticed what Bai Susu was thinking and immediately started promoting the product vigorously.
[Talent Lighting Skill: Light up any of the host's "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, Music, and Dance" skills for a short period of time, achieving a stunning effect. Requires 1000 points. Unlocked.]
1000 points, Bai Susu thought to herself, this is not cheap, but proper use should go a long way in improving favorability.
The love of an emperor is not easy to obtain. Bai Susu knows that it will become more difficult as time goes by.
Bai Susu: By the way, what is my current favorability rating?
[Oops, I almost forgot about this, Master. I came out here to tell you this. Your favorability is already 53%, but after just one ride with me, it's increased by 5 percentage points!]
53%, Bai Susu thought to herself, it’s almost there.
She tilted her head slightly, thinking of Emperor Xuan Jing's blushing face when he heard the love poem, with a faint smile on her lips. Her black hair was wet by the steaming water droplets and stuck to her fair cheeks.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
【Master, you are such a goblin. 】
